Just yeseterday i went to the local 1/4 mile track and my best time was a bit disspointing. I ended up running a best of 15.1, the bad part comes with the 60ft which was a 2.55. If i would have managed to get a 2.2 then i could have hit 14.?? no problem. Is there a certain technique with launching this car that someone can tell me because next time i go i will not settle for a 15. My mods are exhaust, intake, pulley, and diablo predator. I know this car is capable of a 14.7 and that is what i want to get. I would appreciate any techniques or strategies you guys use in launching these cars.

in my moms zx2 when i practiced i would bring it up to 4k, hold it, let go of the clutch halfway, gun it and let go of the clutch ...occasionally i get a little wheelhop but the second time i tried it was almost perfect, the tires spun for like half of a second and i took off

i did this cuz my friend told me how to do that [/QU
sorry but the svt trany does not work like the zx2 hell I don't think it works like any other tranny

i have intake, exhaust, pulley, and diablo flash tune. The only thing that is holding me back from hitting the 14's is my 60ft. Once i get the 60ft down then i should be hitting consitant 14's. Most likely around 14.6,14,7,14.8

when i first got my car i wanted to throw a hole bunch of bolt ons real quick. I didn't know that the svt already has the highest flowing header available. So i went on line to look for better headers and i found a pair on ford racing (the jet hot coated header) didn't know i was getting what i already had so i sold them. I guess i better update my profile.
